//Source: [|Wikipedia]//
 * Ellas McDanie**l (born **Ellas Otha Bates**, December 30, 1928, McComb, MS – June 2, 2008, Archer, FL), known as **Bo Diddley**, was an American R&B and Chicago blues singer, guitarist, songwriter and music producer who played a key role in the transition from the blues to rock and roll. His use of African rhythms and a signature beat, a simple five-accent hambone rhythm, is a cornerstone of hip hop, rock, and pop. In recognition of his achievements, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and received Lifetime Achievement Awards from the Rhythm and Blues Foundation and a Grammy Award from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences.
